The Argentine Saviola, with a right thigh injury, remains doubtful for tomorrows game, with Sporting Braga, and Jorge Jesus wants to wait "until the last minute" to see if he can use him.
"We will do everything until the last second to recover him. Today we have many questions, but we still have many hours until tomorrow to take the option. At this time is more for not," explained Benfica's coach.
